Abstract
At the head of our columns this week appears the portrait of the foremost American physician,Doctor Benjamin Rush. We can do little more than reiterate the sentiments of the powerful appeal made by the Committee on the Rush Monument, to the profession; to honor the memory of an American physician, at once a scholar, a patriot, a physician and a philanthropist. It needs no eulogy to set forth his virtues or the splendor of his magnificent deeds. DR. BENJAMIN RUSH. From a phototype from a painting bySully, in possession of the Pennsylvania Hospital at Philadelphia. Painted for the hospital shortly after his death in 1813. The history of American medicine has done that. Let those now living put their hands in their pockets in the liberal spirit that should always actuate a member of this greatAssociation, and end this talk at<i>this</i>meeting, by subscribing enough money
